webcasting
(From "World-Wide Web" and
"broadcast") {Multicasting} on the {Internet}. Webcasting
implies {real-time} transmission of encoded {video} under the
control of the {server} to multiple recipients who all receive
the same content at the same time. This is in contrast to
normal web browsing which is controlled from the {browser} by
individual users and may take arbitrarily long to deliver a
complete document.
{Pointcast (http://www.pointcast.com)} is the most popular
service to date which uses webcasting, however, {Microsoft}
and {Netscape} have products planned.
